SAFEXPLAIN seeks synergies within TrustworthyAI Cluster

Representatives of the coordinating teams of SAFEXPLAIN and ULTIMATE met to share progress, lessons learnt, and look for potential opportunities for synergies. They delved deeper into the issues that concern both projects: TrustworthyAI.

Safely docking a spacecraft to a target vehicle

Safely docking a spacecraft to a target vehicle

The space scenario envisions a crewed spacecraft performing a docking manoeuvre to an uncooperative target (a space station or another spacecraft) on a specific docking site. The GNC system must be able to acquire the pose estimation of the docking target and of the spacecraft itself, to compute a trajectory towards the target and to send commands to the actuators to perform the docking manoeuvre. The safety goal is to dock with adequate precision and avoid crashing or damaging the assets.

Celebrating Women and Girls in Science Day with advice for young scientists

We´re celebraiting the 9th Anniversary of #FEBRUARY11 Global Movement with a look into the women in science and technology in the project.

The SAFEXPLAIN projects counts with the participation of many women in science who are driving the project´s success. See what advice they have for young scientists.

Integrating AI into Functional Safety Management  

Integrating AI into Functional Safety Management  

SAFEXPLAIN is developing an AI-Functional Safety Management methodology that guides the development process, maps the traditional lifecycle of safety-critical systems with the AI lifecycle, and addreses their interactions. AI-FSM extends widely adopted FSM methodologies that stem from functional safety standards to the the specific needs of Deep Learning architecture specifications, data, learning, and inference management, as well as appropriate testing steps. The SAFEXPLAIN-developed AI-FSM considers recommendations from IEC 61508 [5], EASA [6], ISO/IEC 5460 [3], AMLAS [7] and ASPICE 4.0 [8], among others.
